A must see on any New Zealand itinerary, but one day is sufficient. Perfect for adventurous young people who like walking, not so much for older persons. The helicopter ride was bit of a rip-off as the weather closed in and we could not land on the glacier. Although they did give us a little refund, it was not up to our expectations and very expensive 20 minute ride.

Beautiful World Heritage site with exquisite natural flora...
Beautiful World Heritage site with exquisite natural flora and fauna. The walks were amongst the most scenic and beautiful we’ve ever experienced. Only downside, which I feel needs to be more clearly explained to visitors, is that the glaciers themselves can only be seen and viewed from the lookout points if it is a clear day without low hanging cloud. We were disappointed to not actually see the Franz Josef Glacier nor the Fox Glacier from the fartherest reach of the walks. Environmentally, we were not prepared to fly/chopper to see the glaciers from the air. Nevertheless, the walks themselves are a must do, driving through the region is gob-smackingly beautiful and the walk around Lake Matheson a must see.VanessaAustralia - 8.0Scored 8.0

Our helihike was cancelled due to weather, so we did a quad bike in the rain. IT WAS AWESOME! We smiled for the entire two hours. There is a sweet chapel for quiet and reflection. We never saw the glaciers as it rained for three days straight which was so sad. The grocery and a few restaurants were enough to find something to eat.

We were unlucky with the weather, as there was low cloud and some rain. We took a couple of walks to see the glacier from viewing points which were really good. Paths were very good, not muddy, and there were signs to explain the ecology and history.JackieUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

A small town with a couple of shops and plenty pubs/restaurants. The glacier is 7kms from the town - drive to the car park and then there’s a short walk to the viewing area - you’ll need binoculars or a long lens to truly appreciate the beauty of the glacier. Fox Glacier is 30 mins away and again there’s a pretty uphill walk to a viewing area. You can get a helicopter onto the glacier but they are $$$. Lake Mathewson is worth visiting while in Fox, park at the car park and walk 30/40 mins to the jetty. Beautiful especially at sunset but use bug spray as there are lots of midgies!GillianUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

Our room was spacious and comfortable, meals were of a high quality, with breakfast outstanding, and all staff friendly, welcoming and efficient. When weather closed off our helicopter flights we had no problem extending our stay in the same room inspite of almost a fully booked hotel. Our experience at Scenic Franz Joseph led us to book Scenic in Dunedin and we experienced the same high quality there.AlanAustralia

- From $58.59 per night8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 1,276 reviewsThe Alpine Glacier Motel is well situated in the Franz Josef Glacier village, within walking distance to all the eateries, the helicopter landing area and adventure booking offices. Anthony was the duty manager when we arrived and he is very professional, helpful and friendly as are all the staff there. The room was exceptionally clean and with all the necessary items for a self catering stay. Our room had a small decking out the back from which you could see the snow capped mountains. We had a wonderful and momentous stay.DaveAustralia
- From $88.78 per night8.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 173 reviewsMy husband and I stayed here just for one night before our Franz Josef Glacier heli-hike tour. Easy 2 min drive to the township for dinner. Seamless afterhours check in with key in lockbox. Great communication by staff via messages for all relevant information. Heater was great which dried out all of our wet jackets and the cottage was so spacious! I would recommend others to stay here. Private, parking right at the door and such an amazing view too!!
CathyAustralia - From $93.51 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 935 reviewslocation was great with the Franz Josef glacier walk about 5km away & the Fox glacier walk about 24km away. restaurants & bars were also a short walk away. helicopter flights to the glaciers were in abundance on the Main Street which was a short walk away. we did the helicopter trip to the top of Fox glacier where we were able to get out of the helicopter & on to the glacier which was amazing.
GerardUnited Kingdom - From $110.68 per night8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 864 reviewsClean Superior room, comfy bed and pillow (firm and supportive, at last!). Very central location and no noise from other rooms nor adjoining properties. Netflix, Prime, good quality TV and very effective heating. Kitchen was large enough and full featured (minus a dishwasher). Good spot. Not the prettiest or cheapest, but quality inside.candyflip69Australia
- From $54.45 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 1,081 reviewsChateau Backpackers had a lovely atmosphere, it helped that you could see the Glacier from there, when not misty, but that they have free veg soup at 6 pm and that encouraged people to mix and chat, also free breakfast, which included pancake or waffle mix to cook, cereals and toast. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.

DawnAustralia - From $81.68 per night6.6Scored 6.6PleasantRated pleasant· 603 reviewsThe property is a little out of town but very quiet. Old but clean. Internet hopeless so don't stay here if you are relying on the net to plan your next stage of travel. I did however find great internet at the Snakebite brewery in town. You can actually see the glacier from the property.ToddAustralia
